A Natural Way To Make Fruit Flavored Iced Green Tea

One of Prodyne Fruit Infusion Pitcher in boxmy favorite ways to add flavor to my iced green tea is to infuse it with natural fruit flavors. Sure you could use fruit juice and all the added sugar and calories that come with it. But why would you. Also, using fruit juice can easily overpower the natural flavors of the green tea.

So how do I add fruit flavors to my tea? I use a Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher to infuse my green tea with all sorts of fruit flavors.

A fruit infusion pitcher is a pitcher (duh!) with a removable cylinder inside the middle of it. The cylinder has lots of holes in it. You fill the cylinder up with the fruit of your choice, and insert it into the pitcher after you fill the pitcher with iced tea. Note: use cooled iced tea unless you want to cook your fruit.

You then let the pitcher sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours while the natural flavors of the fruit infuse into the green tea. What you have after 24 hours is a pitcher full of no calorie fruit flavored green tea. Done this way, the fruit flavor is not overpowering, which is kiwi raspberry fruit infused iced green teaimportant when working with delicate flavors like green tea. After 24 hours and up to a week or so, you can choose to remove the cylinder to stop the infusion. If the flavor is not strong enough after 24 hours, wait a day and try again. Once you have reached the level of flavor you prefer, simply remove the cylinder to stop the infusion process. What you will have is about 85 ounces of great iced green tea.

You can use any combination of ingredients. Try kiwi raspberry fruit infused iced green tea, it is one of my favorites. Of course, you could opt for nothing but lemons. The point is the possibilities and combinations are endless and the resulting iced green tea is delicious and healthy.
